The Center On Executive Compensation is dedicated to developing and promoting principled
pay and governance practices and advocating compensation policies that serve the
best interests of shareholders and other corporate stakeholders. The Center’s principled
pay practices hold that executive compensation should be:
- Aligned with the best interests of the company's shareholders
and other stakeholders
- Fully compliant with applicable laws and regulations
- Independently informed and approved
- Appropriately customized to the company's culture, values,
industry and strategy
- Transparent and accessible
- Fair and reasonable to the company's shareholders and
executives as a whole
Headquartered in Washington, DC, The Center was created at the direction of the
Board of Directors of HR Policy Association, which represents the senior HR executives
of more than 280 of the largest corporations in the United States. Their intent was to ensure
that the Association would support the critically important work of these executives
as well as provide them with a stronger voice in the executive compensation debate.
Funding for The Center comes from both HR Policy Association and The Center's subscribers.
Subscriptions to The Center are available to member companies of the HR Policy Association.
